commencement, 1897.

Court House Hall was very hand
somely and lastly decorated for the
commencement exercises, held last
Friday evening, and well filed with
friends of the graduates, happy in
their success, and eager to manifest
in their presence hearty apprecia-
ton of the triumph they had secured
by diligence and application, to-
gcther with liberal endowment of
natural ability.
The exercises were opened with
an overture by the band, Rev. Dick
inson next invoking Divine blessing.
Miss Grace Burnside received many
compliments for her skillful and ar
tistic manipulation of the keys in
rendering an instrumental solo,
Happy Birding. Miss Lena Ros-
enberg, of the graduates, appeared
first. Her subject, "Failures," was
well studied aud ably treated. She
reviewed many of the prominent
failures of history and drew from
each an applicable lesson, showing
more particularly the importance Of
never.ceasing, unremitting vigilance
and application. Her subject was
weu chosen and practical. Miss
Rosenberg's gestures were made
with the ease and grace character
istic of the young lady.
Messrs. Roberts, Irwin, Abrams
and Fish favored the audience with
a fine quartettc entitled "Evening
Bells"
Miss Bonnie Stotts had chosen
for her subject "Cleopatra." Her
delivery was fluent and easy, and
she displayed much thought and in.
telligence. The 'oration was well
received and highly complimented.
Miss Lillian OFT favored the audi.
ence with difficult but we'll exc.
cuted instrumental solo, "Eulalia
Gallop."
"Woman as a Writer" was the
subject upon which Miss Mertie
Gleason evidenced wide acquaintance
with the popular writers of her sex.
Their prominent works were hastily
enumerated, but the chief merit OF
Miss Gleason's Grafton was in trac.
ing the far-rcaching and purifying
influence of these works and how
faithfully the responsibility Of the
writers had been discharged. Her
deductions from the prominent liter.
AIRY works of women composed n
strong and indisputable argument in
their behalf. Miss Gleason's stage
presence was commanding and dig
niiied, yet graceful.
The male quartet sang "Moon.
light on the Lake." which was fol-
lowed with the presentation of di-
plomas by Prof, Hornberger. Pres
idcnt Roberts, of the Board Of Educa.
ton, presented Miss Gleason with
handsome gold watch and chain, the
gift of her parents. The exercises
were closed by Rev. Harris who
pronounced the benediction.

The drouth is becoming quite
damaging to the hay crop, and the
slight rain of Tuesday night gave
very little hope that good crop can
yet be secured. In small grain the
chinch bug is doing considerable
damage. But the superior quality of
the soil in Audubon county is being
shown in the way corn is growing
and thriving and in its strong aud
healthy color, despite the continued
dry weather,

~ lady was thrown from buggy
at Atlantic last week and received
injuries from which she died in about
three days. The horse was one
that had been driven for long time
and had always been gentle, and
was considered safe under any and
all circumstances. In this case is
another lamentable reminder of the
indiscretion Of allowing women to
drive alone. Horses never become
absolutely trustworthy, but at any
time may be expected to take fright.
By reason of their modes of dress
women can seldom jump from a
vehicle when danger is imminent or
extricate themselves from an over
turned conveyance. However well
skilled horsewoman may be, and
however gentle the horse she is
driving may have become, it will
always cause anxiety to see a lady
! driving alone.

The Audubon band went to Gray
Tuesday evening to join with the
band. boys of that place in an ice
cream and strawberry festival, and
our boys are much gratified with
the warm reception and most hos.
pitable treatment they received.
They say the Gray people entertain
royalty, and if one were to Judge the
extent of the entertainment by the
stories several of the boys tell of
astronomical beauties and phenom-
ena they witnessed enroute home,
suspicion would be aroused that es.
tablished laws had been slightly
transgressed. But as the boys from
Audubon were all escorted by gentle
guides we shall all believe that the
inference is misleading. A very
large company was present from the
surrounding country, to testify their
good will toward the Gray band.

1t seems that though our County
Commissioners sold the south half Of
the poor farm to eastern parties for
81, 999 90 and got the cash and e1ecut-
ed a warranty deed for the same,
which has gone on record, yet it has
been ascertained that there is a pro-
vision Of law which requires the people
of the county to give their consent to
the sale through the ballot box; so a
special election has been called to be
held on Tuesday, June 18th, 1887, to
ratify such sale This statute was not
discovered till after the sale had been
all finished up. We believe that the
unanimous verdict is that the sale is a
very favorable one for the county and
it viii probably be ratified without
dissenting vote.
